This place is so wallet friendly (reasonable priced), clean and very comfy. We enjoyed the hosts hospitality and her attention to details. Maureen the host looked after our sightseeing for the next day suggesting what we could be doing and how to get the best prices. Thank you Maureen

Room Tip: Suggest a room on the first floor to have some privacy

Stayed her for 4xnights last month. Drove up from Auckland so arrived late, Maureen was a lovely Host & waiting to greet us. As the weather had taken a turn, Maureen was most helpful with day trip tips etc. The hotel itself is quite dated but spacious & clean. The rooms just need an overhaul with colour along with bathroom reno. But again...... clean. Did not get the gist of the spar in that laundry type room though.... very unwelcoming.We booked purely on price......... wouldn't stay again though.

My husband and I took our two grown children here for Easter weekend. When shown to our room we all smelled urine at the foyer of our front door step. There was fake green grass/mat. We discussed it after owner had gone. I went to the loo and noticed the skirtings were thick with dust. I then checked kitchen shelves, dusty. I'm far from a fussy house keeper but decided for over $350 a night it wasn't really good enough so reported to owners. They were horrified but had to agree(eventually) with urine smell and excess dust, including musky smelling duvets. They got the cleaner onto it and were suitably embarrassed and apologized, no reduction on settling the bill, which would have helped abit. The motel was very dated too with doilies and old style furniture which would've been ok if clean.

Thank you for your review Tania G. I can not understand why you have chosen to write your review 2 years after you stayed with us. I remember precisely when you stayed and it was at a time when we were having trouble with wild cats in the area. This problem has now been resolved. I regret that your experience with us was not enjoyable. We always try to keep our rooms spotless as you can see from our reviews. We feel that the room does not warrant a score of 2 out of 5 as it is a lovely apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and also large lounge/dining room and private balcony. Regards, Maureen and Phil

The unit was spotless and spacious, the continental breakfast was excellent value, although all the facilities were in the room to prepare your own meals if you preferred. The hosts Phil and Maureen were welcoming and gave great recommendations. Under cover parking which was fabulous because it did rain quite heavily. Less than 5 minutes to walk to the wharf and restaurants and cafes. Excellent value and great, friendly customer service.

Room Tip: Room 8 is a corner room with plenty of light.
